I agree with you!
The only issue I have is Youtube automatically downgrading my Quality setting by one each time I watch a new video.
The following thing happens, if I do NOT manually select 1080p each time I watch a new video:
It starts at 1080p for a couple seconds, then buffers a couple seconds. Afterwards it resumes playing at 720p. If I don't manually reset it to 1080p, the next video starts at 720p, buffers again, and resumes with 480p. This continues all the way down to 144p.
I have not found anything that is able to help me with this issue. By now, I've become accustomed to that, but it's still annoying.
Using the Youtube High Definition addon for FF didn't help.
Anyone got another idea?
I joined the Fediverse after Reddit shut down the 3rd party apps, with it my beloved RIF. Tried out the official app and recoiled in disgust. SO. MANY. FUCKING. ADS. Been browsing Reddit with mobile Firefox and uBlock Origin ever since. Still had some issues with pages repeating themselves after the 5th page or so, but still sufficient for the occasional scroll.
Well, as you guess it: Mobile UI redesign. Pages take 10 seconds to load, shift 5 times as my poor poor ad blocker is forced to take up overtime. And the ads are terrible, I saw a user complaining about NSFW medical gore ads and they were asking how to disable them. The answer was simply: You can't opt out of that selection, buy premium.
At least I found out how to get RIF back into working order again, using the ReVanced Manager. Even completely without ads. Reddit will get no penny from me ever again. I'll keep browsing it and using their bandwidth, but never comment or vote anymore.
As a car mechanic, I frequent a lot of tech support subs and like helping people. I still do that, but in DMs. This way Reddit can't use my content to display more ads. I have no beef with the people using Reddit for help. My beef is solely with their management and u/spez specifically.
Obligatory fuck u/spez.
